Adam Finley is a postman in Georgia, USA. He always looks for ways to help the neighborhood during his more than 12-hour-long working time.

Because of COVID-19, schools in Finley's community have closed. Most students stay inside all day, including 7-year-old Eva Jones and her 6-year-old sister Aria. They have spent almost a year at home without seeing their classmates. Finley wanted to help.

After knowing about the girls' interests, Finley decided to play the game Tic-tac-toe（井字游戏）with the little girls. He drew some cards for the game and left them in the mailbox. Every morning for the next few weeks, Eva and Aria ran out to the mailbox to make their moves, then left the cards in the mailbox, and waited for Mr. Adam to make his move in the following day when he returned with their mail. And every time they won, Finley gave them a prize.

"They are always so excited to win, "Finley said." I've surprised them with gift cards for ice-cream, popcorn, anything to make them smile. "

Thanks to Finley, these two girls had a nice time at home. Now Finley is playing the game with other kids in the neighborhood.
